5.2.6. Plugin for monitoring user creation

The plugin of type org.exoplatform.services.organization.impl.NewUserEventListener specifies which groups all the newly created users should become members of. It specifies the groups and the memberships to use (while the group is just a set of users, a membership type represents a user's role within a group). It also specifies a list of users that should not be processed (i.e. administrative users like 'root').

Note

The terms 'membership' and 'membership type' refer to the same thing, and are used interchangeably.
